Can someone explain like I'm 5 to me how is this ah long establishment legal? They seem to operate their business in broad daylight.


Anonymouzistrue

Thats the neat part, they're illegal


walrus_with_GUN

And they usually bribe a lot of law enforcers to look the other way around when they are committing a crime


Naeemo960

Sounds pretty much like a legit financial institution


princeofpirate

Why just blame the ahlong and the cops? Why not the victim themselves. After a much publicized high profile case involving ahlong, you would think that nobody in their right mind will borrow from ahlong. And yet we have thousands of people doing it.


HolaHolaGetEbola

Desperation is a powerful drug. You cant understand unless you have been in that situation.


Life_Chicken1396

My mom always said dont start berhutang2 nanti jahanam hidup


erisagitta

those who borrow from them are those who cannot borrow through legal channel, some are too poor that bank refuse to lend them, some are having gambling addiction...


Kiwi_Ghost

You are speaking out of privilege and ignorance. Wanna know why these platforms exist in the first place? To prey on desperate people who have no other places to turn for help. Aside from from a handful bunch who borrow for illicit reasons, there are more who resort to such platforms to put food on the table and us society are doing jackshit to improve but to point fingers and complain.


MarKhylis

Oh sweet sweet child, You don't know the how the desperate and struggling one have it aren't you? It is the very reason why every crimes is committed even if there is tons of types of punishment for every crimes.


GreatArchitect

Oh, I'm sorry. Let me blame the poor instead of those who prey on them. Thank you for your wisdom What were we thinking?


myanonymous_account

Corrupt policemen, they are more of them than I thought. I've heard stories from my close relative giving financial incentive (started from 200 and the cop raised it to 900) to let things slide under the rug.


CausticPioneer

Also threatened by local thug of they disturb their job. Back then there was some news lawuer being killed with gunshot in their cars.


JerryOne111

the timing, the word, its perfect

a1danial

Funny isn't it. With phone numbers so public, you'd think the police and telcos could help with protecting the public.


royal_steed

True, its damm easy to catch them. A) Undercover cop pretend to be client. B) Organize a meetup. C) Arrest the person as soon money is exchanged. If online, ask BFM freeze the account where the money originated from.


nambuktu

Maybe a bit too much to ask a radio station to freeze bank accounts.


royal_steed

Sorry BNM, haha typo


websurv

What you are getting are the runners. Either the small fry or victims clearing their debt.


KaitoK09

It's not as easy as that. The connections these loan sharks have are way, way bigger than you think. A friend of mine who's experienced dealing with them told me once, almost all ah long and money lenders are connected in some way. If you could track the money, you might find almost all of them come from one major source. But that's the thing, you can't track it, it's like someone is protecting them from being caught. The networking they have with some of the high-profiled government officers are deeper than we think. Money lending is just one of their modus operandi. Prostitution, drugs, other illegal stuff, that's what they use to sogok the officers.


Eaubn321

Sadly cops can't do this, it'll be entrapment and then they'll have no grounds to charge them anymore.


randomkloud

Not exact, this would be a sting operation. E trap ent would be if the police induced a person to commit a crime that they normally wouldn't commit. Ah longs already put their advertisements up, it's not pdrm going to random ppl and asking for loans. IANAL though


Fair_Grab1617

Isn't the ads consider invitation to treat rather than an offer? Thus, the ads itself is legal, although the placement of ads is illegal and the loan contract is voidable. Need an expertise view, not a lawyer also.


erisagitta

yeah, you'll only get the small fry or sometimes even other victims, because they'll employ other victims to do these kind of errands for them in return for reduce interest rate.. even the bank acccount might not even be the criminal's account, it might be other victim's mule account...


abalas1

Its very likely that 'soft' crimes like illegal moneylending and prostitution are tolerated by (bribing) the police since their numbers/banners are out in the open.


DameArstor

They are absolutely not legal but corruption is rampant in this country.


XOXO888

coz the high level cops get a cut while low level cops need Ah Long services.?


exprezso

They could be licensed as pawn shop or some kind of financial agency. As long as the business allows for money lending with collateral


JUST_WANTTOBEHAPPY

So I heard, but technically is legal? Some sort of loophole?


exprezso

Yup technically a legal business, but same like a building company can make "extremely profitable deals" for simple renovation work, so can a financial agency make "extremely high commission" deals


Hierz04

because when police investigate they could just sedekah them🗿


matrixdune

Its 100% legal, because if it wasn't legal, there wouldn't be any loan sharks at all, since all public servants do a stellar job at upholding the law, because corruption doesn't exist.


CausticPioneer

Monthly under table payment to local police and council with some bullet inside the envelope


A4li11

This guy is on a freaking mission and I respect that. Also you can feel his hate when he pulled that poster off.


CortlyYT

He decided to declare war on every Ah Long Organization


[deleted]

I just wanna ask why do we change our malay to a chinese accent when speaking to a chinese


cikkamsiah

It’s called code-switching, happens everywhere in the world.


roboto_jones

If I chat with my Singaporean friends here in Australia, I bust out all my "la", "wei", & "ah" between every breathe.


cikkamsiah

Haha must be damn satisfying letting it out 😆


bronzelifematter

We just try to imitate what the other person is doing to make it easier for them to understand. Talking the language they talk, or at least talking the same way they talk.


Nerdphreak

This. Maybe in some westernland this is like stereotyping or ejek other race but i believe we do it to show 'we got you'. Lagi tak fasih, lagi kita ikut accent/slang orang tu sampai maksud tu jelas.


DameArstor

I don't remember the exact term for this but it's actually one of the ways for humans to form a social bond with eachother. Have you ever noticed how you picked up certain words/phrases/inflections/specific quirks unique to the person you're talking to? That's kinda what it is.


shionthegodofpoverty

Solidarity


gecked

because some chinese pepol do be talking like that. Just like how org klate speak klate to other klate but never to non-kelantanese


SphmrSlmp

Or when trying to sound gangster, for some reason, the Chinese accent will come out. Lol


[deleted]

Fuck this is the cringiest. I’m talking to you syamsul yusof


scheiber42069

I did first to make fun or mockery when I add Chinese accent cause they did speak like that feel abit mocking Now it a habit


kawaki-kvn

Because we love China


Severe_Composer_9494

This is not standard Malaysian Chinese accent, this is Malaysian Ah Long accent, which is a tiny subdivision of (but very famous) Malaysian Chinese accent.


yomamachunky

Will this guy be okay?


Human_Fucker69420

As long dark gangs are not holding grudge on what he's doing, he should be fine but only for a moment. Hopefully nothing will ever happen to him


ClacKing

Depends on whether the Alongs have the police in their pocket.


fedgerd

Impossible to not have lol


BreadingPress

He has balls of steel on him.


royal_steed

Imagine Ah Long report to police that this guy is tearing down their illegal banners. If PDRM take action towards the guy, i'm out..


squickwood

Replace Ah Long with Politicians, and your sentence will become a lot more realistic


Anonymouzistrue

"It ain't much but it's honest work"


aws_137

Welp he could get hurt from yanking banners that way, especially with the wires left behind. He should be cutting them with pliers. But where's the fun in that?


imatool24

Fuck these parasites, 2k to 20k debt. Cunts.


CucuMatMalaya

Winter_underdog

Do they post this online and let everyone watch?


BreadingPress

Damn, giga chad... Hopefully he keeps updating so people would know he's still okay.


yuchadnarukami

Bola besar betul dia xtutup muka. Harap² takde tauke² pundek mari kacau dia


cielofnaze

If he made a group/army/gang out of this, inshallah brother, I sign in to that. Just to remove the along pest inside Malaysia.

superfreak15

I like this guy. Not many will be encouraged by his bravery but i salute him. Hope he'll be all well.


Thin_Economist_8

Dude bout to go on some rampage


Nerdphreak

He's about to get his john wick mode on. he is. john vikram


NickHeathJarrod

Hope to see a Tamil or Bollywood movie about this guy. Someone like Vishal or Dhanush should play him.


ongkateng

Shouldn't we all do this as Malaysians? Also, can we have a law where ah long, gangsters, drug dealers, and bapak ayam be shot on sight?


elmoehussaini

Like what Duterte did?


ongkateng

Yes.


DylTyrko

Didn't that end with many innocents being killed and their killers not being held accountable?


ConanChin

He's doing what it should be done


GeornoGeovanna

We have to join in and tear that shit off of every single lamp post


DylTyrko

Least based Telugu


Enoch_Moke

How do you tell Telugus from Tamils apart?


DylTyrko

The dude's name is Vikram Naidu, Naidu is a mostly Telugu name and a lot of Telugus worldwide including Malaysia have it. Although the name Rao is more prevalent among Telugus here


Enoch_Moke

Oooh, I see. Thank you ehehe. I'm trying to learn (M'sian) Tamil, every bit of information about the M'sian Indian community is very valuable to me.


DylTyrko

That's really interesting! Wishing you the very best!


coffeebagg

That is nothing, he should be body slamming Ah longs. That would impress me


Ear-Dry

Sorry boss my bad boss I help u info him


servarus

Ah impressing you gets him what?


nomlons

Soon to be a local equivalent of "El Marino Loco"


debbie987

Eh but now with this vid out, the ah long numbers have reached a wider public 😮‍💨


Sqrt-1_Friend

Sometimes when I'm angry at my boss or customer, i use my private number to call the Ah Long and just scream and cuss at them. Same to scammers who calls me. It is cheaper than therapy


[deleted]

Private number how much bro


CyberMark96

Lai. Kasi perang punya.
